Noor Box Rocks!

SubhanAllah I happen to be on Facebook and I saw this page called Noor Box ! I was instantly in love with this awesome educational tool! This month the theme is the bee!! Our son T2 is known as The Bee and loves to learn about bees Alhamdulilah We received our bee theme Noor Box and needless to say, there were excited faces (not including sleeping T5- who missed the action)The children and I talked about what is responsibility and how we can bee more responsible at home and the masjid. Each child took a turn writing on the chart on what they can do. Also in their box there was stickers they could place on the flowers for every responsible thing they do each day. MashaAllah Alhamdulilah my children rushed towards doing responsible task and I was truly impressed! Just a side note, if you have more than one child you can purchase a sibling kit for 8.00 Alhamdulilah.

What's in the Noor Box?

"Each month your child will receive a box filled with projects, activities, and / or stories relating to Islamic values and virtues.

The themes of the boxes are based on four subject areas- Art, Nature, Heritage, and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math).

Inside every box will be at least two activities around the particular theme of the month with supplies to complete each activity.

Other supplemental activities will be suggested to carry the theme further. In addition, there will be a monthly virtue included in each box supported by verses from the Quran and Hadith.

The child will learn about the virtue and ways of incorporating it into his or her daily life."- Noor Box Website

The children loved going on a scavenger hunt, the kit supplied even cool sunglasses and magnifying glass.

A great way to encourage team work They worked together to find all the items on the check list and took turns reading the list. I really loved seeing their excitement and screams as they filled their bag!

I love that we were provided with seeds for planting to help with nectar and pollinating.

Also honey sticks and two little candies were well received!

I would love for everyone to get their box!! Deadline to order for this months box is August 12th!!! Also they have a special going on through the 12th- 15% off of a 3 month subscription using code BEE15 during checkout at www.noorbox.net !!!! Mention me and we both get 10.00 credit InshaAllah! Which really helps when you want to order a sibling kit mashaAllah.

Seriously a great addition to your educational tools, whether you are homeschooling or not mashaAllah. Its really fun. My children will definitely want next month's box.

One month later... If you would have told me, that I would be eventually blogging as a widow, I would have probably said that I couldn't imagine it!

Well here I am, writing as a widow. My husband (may Allah have mercy on him, and grant him jannah ameen ameen) passed away last month, December 20th, 2016, from complications from his condition. My whole life changed and I am learning to heal and process this tremendous loss with our six children.

I met my husband in 2006 mashaAllah, and as I like to tell people, I started this adventure 10 yrs ago when I met a Prince from Kings County (Brooklyn NYC) married him, and became his princess alhamdulilah. When we first met, I felt like "wow this handsome guy, I cant believe he is even giving me the time of day." Lord knows I am thankful for all the time of our days, our road trips, and adventures.

I think of an old status message I shared on facebook " I've dedicated ten years of my heart to this loveable adventurous g…

You are the heart of the home. You are his support, his cheerleader, and he needs you to be by his side. Do you know how important you are to him and to your home?

You are worth more than you know. It may not be said often, but without you... Life would be a little more difficult.

I know you're struggling right now to be a better wife and I know you want to do better. Don't put too much pressure on yourself.

Keep asking Allah to guide you in becoming a better wife. Realize that you have a lot of worth and your husband knows it, he married you, he knew you were the woman who could make his life better.

Write down what you can do to make your marriage better and focus on that daily. He put you with this man, that you love, that you decided to marry. You made a commitment, and you said "I am his committed helper." so keep going! Yes it's not always easy, sometimes you want to leave... But you are a strong, praying woman. …

On the eve of our 9th year anniversary, I'm doing a lot of reflecting. I saw a blog post entitled "Remember Who Your Husband Is." and the title stood out to me but in a different way so I decided to write my own post. I'm reflecting on nine years of marriage and who my husband is.

So who is he?

Lets remember ..

He is a gift from Allah.

Allah blessed me with him and it is my great honor to take care of my gift.
He is not to be abused, mistreated, and taken for granted. Allah has put us together and for that I'm thankful Alhamdulilah. I'm here to assist him in the best way possible. Allah did not burden me with him, He did not curse me, but what He did do is bless me Alhamdulilah! When you know you are blessed you show gratitude!

He is the leader of our home.

Not only did Allah send me this gift. He also put me under his leadership. In remembering who he is, we must remember and respect his position of leadership. We should always pray that Allah is constantl…
